Savanni Tunic

My youngest sister had a baby girl.

Of course, I *had* to sew for her.

 

 

I had sewn this pattern (Savanni Voile Tunic from Ottobre (and I can't remember the issue because I had borrowed it from a friend)) before for my daughter, when she was just sitting up.

At that time, I could NOT figure out how to sew up the sleeves. So, I had just pressed them in and topstitched the lining to the outer fabric.

After the fact I had found this site which explained it very well, so I got it done properly this time.

 

 

The fabric is from Walmart--just regular cotton, not voile.

The buttons are from when I did more scrapbooking/card-making as a teenager.

They matched perfectly.

And, I did a size 62--hopefully it still fits my niece--I still haven't been able to make it out to see her and give this...camping and sick kids have been keeping me from that. But, hopefully this week!

 

 

I hope my sister likes it.

And, again, I hope it fits....

 

This was one of my goals for August. The other one did not happen.

And, now I have a list of goals a mile long that *need* to happen. I'll post about those (and my lovely new fabric) later!
